What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students follow collegial discussion norms, set specific goals and deadlines, and define roles as needed. They monitor whether the group is working productively.
What Mastery Looks Like
- The student follows listening and turn-taking norms, completes a defined role, and helps track a clear goal. The group meets checkpoints or revises its plan openly.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may adopt vague goals or roles that do not guide action. They may focus on personal work while ignoring shared norms, progress, or deadlines.
How to Assess It
- Give groups a twelve-minute task. Require written norms, one goal, a midpoint deadline, defined roles, and a brief progress check.
